'New challenge' for Dupont after announcing torn knee ligaments
France captain Antoine Dupont said Sunday he had torn the cruciate ligaments in his right knee in the Six Nations victory over Ireland.
Dupont sustained the injury in the first half of the 42-27 win in Dublin on Saturday when he was hit by Ireland lock Tadhg Beirne in a ruck.
"Torn cruciate ligaments," Dupont said on Instagram. "It's the start of a new challenge, I'll see you in a few months on the pitch."
Dupont, who accompanied his post with a flexed bicep emoji, added: "The heart hurts even more than the knee when you have to leave your mates before the last hurdle.
"I am proud of what we accomplished yesterday and am with you with all my strength, you will do it," he said in reference to France's final match against Scotland on Saturday.
